★Speech for winning the Purple Ribbon Medal in 2023 - For 38 years, I have been pursuing the entertainment aspect of my works, not the literary aspect. I have only one belief in my heart: to create works that people enjoy, and to become a writer that readers want to read again and again. This feeling is like climbing a mountain. I believe that as long as we keep moving forward, we will reach the top.
★2023 Kikuchi Kansho Award Speech - In the nearly 40 years since his debut, Keigo Higashino has always led the development of suspense mystery novels. His works are supported by universal values and are widely loved. Sales in Japan have exceeded 100 million copies, and they have also fascinated readers around the world. [Introduction] Three murder cases occurred one after another. The victims had one thing in common: they had all been responsible for the murders but escaped punishment.
The police suspected that the survivors of previous murders had joined forces to seek revenge, and discovered that they would check into the same hotel on the same day.
Confined space, extreme case solving, multiple reversals, the truth is beyond everyone's imagination.
Reader comments
The description of the detective Nitta and the policewoman partner in the story is very vivid, and I especially like the interaction between them. Moreover, the murderer in the book is very hidden, which kept me guessing who it was. However, I kind of hate the self-righteous murderer, I always find him hateful. Looking forward to the movie starring Kimura Takuya and Nagasawa Masami, it will definitely be exciting!
It is undeniable that Officer Zi Zhenxun is a mentally strong and calm woman with outstanding abilities at work, but her methods are quite extreme (I personally dislike this characteristic of this woman). Maybe I am looking at the problem from the perspective of the public, and I have clearly negotiated with the hotel not to cross the bottom line and infringe on the privacy of guests. On the basis of establishing this kind of trust, she adopted some illegal means. The police may need some means to investigate the case, but it is not arbitrary. Her behavior has violated the awareness of human rights. She may have confident and superb detective methods, but she also has the disadvantage of being willful. She can only be said to be a controversial person (I personally feel very angry😅)
When the police intervene in the investigation of major cases, they may consider different angles. Zi Zhenxun may be a righteous person who is oriented towards justice and ignores whether the hotel will suffer damage to reputation and interests due to the leakage of guest privacy. This is also a measure of justice and empathy. My comments above may still be a little subjective, but I still like this righteous lady, like this book, and like to analyze the growth of each character with a more optimistic attitude. After all, no one is perfect, and perhaps different characteristics enrich the characters.
It looks great! With the Masked Hotel series, Higashino finally regained his passion for creation. It's not easy!
The final ending is sublime😮💨Don't get involved in other people's cause and effect casually🤫
Keigo Higashino plays steadily
The ending is a bit unexpected, but it is also beautiful. Most of the time we just imagine that we cannot overcome the hurdle in our hearts, but maybe we are far stronger than we think.
